Allan Metacalf writes in "Israel: shibboleth from Hebrew," _The World in So Many Words_ (1999):
Biblical Hebrew has had a strong influence on English. Hebrew words in English include "hallelujah" (1382) and "amen" (950), as well as "cherub" (825), "manna" (897), "behemoth" (1382), "cider" (1300), "messiah" (1300), "cabal" (1614), "schwa" (1895), and modern Hebrew, "kibbutz" (1944). Other Hebrew words like "chutzpah" (1892) and "schmooze" (1897) have immigrated through Yiddish to English.
